Fig. 2, `is a vertical sectional elevation thereof taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3is a horizontal sectionalview of the flower and plantfbox takenon line 3-3 ofFig.1.

In carrying out the aim of my present in-j vention, I employ a receiving box or recep tacle A consisting of' four side walls 1 and* the bottom or floor 2 having a central drain opening 3. The receptacle A can bev made from lany suitable material and can Vbe l'of any depth, length and width.

A pair of suitably spaced'supportinglegs 4 are fixed to the outer face of'each side wall lat the side edges thereof, with the' outer side Yfaces of the legs lying in' a plane with the outer facesjof the side walls 3 so as i' 45 to provide avertically disposed V-shape'd pocket, or groove 5l at'eaeh corner 0f the'box. A suitable V- haped corner filler strip 6 is positioned in the lV-shaped corner pockets, or grooves 5 and siutably fixed in posit-ion to provide a smooth'round 'corner for the box.'-

The supporting legs 4 extend below the bottom'face .of the -fioor 2 vand have their inner 5 side faces beveled to provide suitable feet 7 for the legs to stand upon. f The corner filler l scribed and finally pointed out inthe claims 20:-h-eretoappended.
